You’re holding it all together... the work, the parenting, the appointments, the appearances. But behind closed doors, you’re exhausted, anxious, and quietly crumbling under the weight of your partner’s addiction.

In this deeply honest episode, Amanda explores what “not okay” really looks like for high-functioning, capable and amazing women. From over-functioning and emotional whiplash to hiding behind the mask of “I’m fine,” we unpack the silent cost of loving someone in active addiction.

Amanda shares her own turning point and why acknowledging your pain (even in a whisper) is the first important step for change. If you’ve been doing everything for everyone and wondering why you feel like you’re breaking… this is your invitation to breathe.

Whether you’re in crisis or just quietly breaking, this episode offers truth and relief.

🎧 If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear: You’re allowed to not be okay and still be amazing and capable.
